Default Steel brake lines?

I was surprised to see that the service manual for my GS4 said to flush the brake fluid at 30k. I know that TRD makes steel lines for the car and was wondering if anyone could offer somne feedback; are they worth it? If so, I'll give Steve a call & get them & replace the OE fluid with something like Motul racing fluid.

Also, is it easy to replace the A/C filter; I remember reading that is was behind the glove box?

Thanks.

I love my SS line. It makes a day and night diff than the stock. I am using the stock brake oil. Although Steve carries the TRD, its very expensive. He has connection with a local that makes them at cheaper price. Good Quality, and no problem so far.

That's what I thought. I've used them on my motorcycles in the past & they were a big improvement. The guys at Big-O Tires said they wouldn't make any difference on the car.

Phoey.

There may be a lead time for the TRD lines, so order them early from Steve. Due to my short lead-time requirement, I have the RMM lines, which are also of good quality. I also use Motul fluid.

BTW, do NOT use the lines made for the Supra because they do not fit (wrong length), and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
